Selfish Daughters

Sisters Refuse To Pay Share Of Mother's Medical Expenses

DEAR MISS DIX: We are a. family of two sons and two daugh- ters, all married. Our financial conditions are all on n par. Recently our mother became seriously ill, necessitating doctors, nurses and the other expenses of sickness. At that time at my sister's suggestion we all agreed that the four of us should divide the expenses equally so that the burden would not rest on just one's shoulders . \Vell, the sisters have contributed but a very smell part and there remains quite

. a bit of expense yet to be taken care of and they re- fuse to pay their share. Say it is the duty of the sons to take care of such an emergency. yet they are quite as well able to pay as we are. ls it the sons‘ duty to bear the entire burden?

B. C. L.

=- _ ANSWER: Certainly not. Your mother is quite " as much the daughters’ mother as she is the sons’. and it is just as much their duty to help take care of her as it is yours.

I do not know of anything that shows up the innate selfishness of human nature s0 vividly and so hideously as does the way in which in almost every family some members of it duck their responsibility to their parents and throw the \vhole burden of it on the shoulders of some brother or sister who has more heart or conscience than the others.

ALWAYS HAPPENS

All of us have seen this happen a hundred times. John can't pay anything on mother's doctor's bill because he is buying a new auto- mobile. Tom can't pay for the new dress mother just had to have because his young daughter has to have a new hull gown. Mary can't rontribute a cent because she is going to Europe and Sally is so sorry

Q. If a guest is late for dinner and the meal has already begun, is it necessary for the men present to rise in order to greet the late- comer?

A. No. The host and hostess should rise. but it is less confusing for the other guests to remain seated.

Ii a friend of a bereaved fam- ily attends the funeral, is it neces- sary to wear black clothes?

A. No; but one should wear sub- dued clothes, and avoid any gay colors.

Q. Should asparagus ever be eaten with the fingers?

A. Never; cut of! the edible tips and use the fork to convey them to your mouth.

A slightly hilarious guest at~a party embraced a strange woman by mistake. He apologized. "Excuse me. madame," he said “but 1 thought you were my wife."

she can't help, but she has promised to send her children to a sum- nier camp and the best ones are so expensive. So they leave Fanny with the bag to hold, ande they would be perfectly outraged if Fanny should also refuse to bear her share. of responsibility for mother and send her to an old ladies‘ home. They would consider such conduct heartless.

My candidate for the meanest person's medal has always been the son or daughter who passed the buck to some one else when it came to providing for the parents who are just as much his or her parents as they are his sisters’ and brothers‘. For, if all the children would do their part, the burden would fall heavily on no one.

DEAR MISS DIX: Can a woman be a nagger without knowing it? I have been married for ten years to a man who has been very good to me, always gave me his whole pay and let me run the house as I saw fit. And I have been a good wife, and a good housekeeper. But the other day my husband left me because he said he was tired of my nagging and couldn't stand it any more. I have tried in every _\vay to get him to come back but he refuses. I didn't know I nagged. I just kept telling him to wipe his feet before he came in the house. not to spill ashes on the floor, what ties to wear, and so on. Is it possible that a little thing like that can kill love?

GERTRUDE

ANSWER: The only thing you can do is just to let your husband go. Give his rasped nerves a chance to heal. Give him time to for- get how you irritate him with your tongue and to remember how comfortable you have made him with your hands and the chances are that he will come back of his own accord.

You say you didn't know that you nagged. That is the pity and the tragedy of the nagger. She never does know she nags. She thinks her ceaseless interfering in everything her husband and chil- ciren do is for their own good, and nine times out of ten her nagging is inspired by love. -

The nagger is usually a good wife and mother, but all of her vir- tuea are as naught when weighed against her tongue. They forget what she does for them because of what she does to them. The hus- band flees from his gadfly to some place where he can be at peace and the children leave home at the earliest possible moment. For nagging is the death of love.

DEAR MISS DIX: A brilliant young lawyer is in love with a,girl who is pretty enough and of good character, but she is absolutely dumb, cannot carry on an intelligent conversation and has never read a book in her life. Will they be happy it they marry?

“You're a. nice sort of husband for any wcman to have, you clumsy, tipsy brute," said the Woman angrily.

‘"l‘here," exclaimed the conviv- ial one triumphantly, “you talk like her too."

some rem mo. u In individual was bothered with a snuffy nose, and the septum (the par-tition be- tween the two nostrils) was bent, he believed that if he had the septum straightened he would gel. rid of his nose symptoms. Some- Clrnes his physician and a nose specialist would agree with him and a surgical operation was performed. This operation sometimes helped breathing but so much of the lining 0f the nose was diurnaged that there was some loss of smell and naturally a loss of taste.

Today it is known that practically WE-Wbody has a. bent septum. A 19W Years n80 a noted X-ray author- ll-Y on the witness stand told the Pflsldillg judge that in over 40 Years observation he had never seen a straight septum. “They are all crooked." stated the judge wltn a vWi-tikle 1n his eye.

Of course ‘there are still a num- ber of cases of stuffy nose where operation must be performed on the septum or the bony growth-the tur- blnate bone.

In "Post-tiraduate Medicine." Dr.

Detroit, states that discharge that blocks the nose may have several causes In most cases allergy~being sensitive to certain silbstances-ls the cause.

lining of the nose is called rhinitis and if caused by allergy is called allergic rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis oc- t-urs at seasons of the year in which the irritating substance is floating in the air. ‘There is sneezing. dull ache in forehead, a stuffy feeling in the ears and a watery discharge from nose which may become thick later. Among -the possible sub- stances (allergens) are pollen. food, cosmetics, animal hair, house dust. bacteria (small organisms), cold and heat. The lining of the nose is red ail. first but later becomes pale, swollen. and will not shrink when usual shrinking drugs are used.

‘Ireaiiment is cutting down on liquids and table salt. and on foods rich in salt. In meantime the phy- sician searches for the substance causing the symptoms. Stufly nose can also be caused by the common cold in which case lining of nose is always red. In allergic rhinitis, adrenalin injected under the skin. or benadryi token by nwuth give temporary relief to the stuffy nose

in emotional urges, complex or in- lrliluing as they may be. It might be difficult to “accentuate the posi- tive" under the drive of subjective or curious factors.

CHAPTER XV

Usually Loonore saw to it tm; the oblique state of things between her husband and stepson remained within the boundaries of mild caustics. But tonight. her dispirlted eyes lowered as if of their own heaviness, she let s long pause shape itself before dinner was announced and the group took its accustomed pattern at the candle- llt table.

The subject carried over to the dining room, where Leonore, tnn offended at. Oliver's rebuff to her solicitude to urge upon him the foods he refused, directed her charm and interest toward her husband and Sierra. "Well, whatever your father may have to say about. your fat friend, Sierra. he is the ardent champion of all three of you." “Well," drawled Baldwin. not following his wife's eyes. "1 like the fat Ames gal. She's a general. Maps her battles and fights ‘cm through. That time I loaned her five hiin- dred on a bonanza of a scheme some fellow brought. her for lec- less icebox, she paid up in install- ments. but she paid. The idea was a. first-rater but in the wrong hands. I'm for the fat one."

“Oh. l suppose it's all fair enough. if you care about being that kind o! person, you're not Sierra."

nBut I urn-II

"You. too, think your way through, but not for personal reasons. You care about people in dirty rooms and children with dirty noses. but the things you try to do about it arc for them. Not for yourself."

"Kitty and the Charlottenburi; care about beauty and happiness and shining adventure, not only for themselves but for as many as ill ride along."

“I glory in your standing by our friends. This little old homr body is proud of you new women The men folks better watch out. he days of cozy-uoozles like mn are passing! I'm afraid, John. _ou've got n clinging vine in your air, named me."

Beatitude stamped across his ace, Baldwin leaned towiirrl his wife. "I like you there. Nelli ," he said, trying to keep his voice and face casual.

"Father, you're street!" exclaimed Sierra.

"Leonora ls the sweet one," he replied. "Comes as naturally to her as being one of these suffering-ca: suffrageties would come un- natural to her." "I-Iear that!" "Ollie, I think flirting with me!" For the first time their eyes met in full, hers like a child's, being malicious.

“What am I supposed to do about that. my dear?" he asked.

"Be sweet, civil and lnterestedl" "Consider me all three."

Their smiles, en edge, appearing with almost mechanical precision across their faces, emphasized in Sierra, who sat between them,

A country Garden

By Mn. Gordon Macmillan II‘ YOU CAN IOIGIT

If you can forget the green slant of rain And the scent of a wet wind, sweet and harsh Out of the east, and the wild Iris blowing Like a clean blue flaina at the edge of the marsh; If you can forget the way snow carves - Feather by feather when deep winter spills Her white drowsy peace; if you can forget Sunset and moonrise on these low hills; lf you can forget the look oi‘ wild roses In a stormy pasture, and slow fires that burn In blue October, then you can go down To the high-roofed cities and not ache to return. O l l Sometimes these busy days on the farm in October we wish ioi some leisure to enjoy the beauty around us but when the weather is kind and the crop is likely to be harvested before frost, we are grateful that we live in the_ coun- try and can work amid such beautiful surroundings.

I The sunny mornings in the garden are wonderful with the mist on the river and the autumn color of the hills. Transplanting of the early perennials should be done now so they become estab- lished for early blooming in‘ the spring. Thalictrum has been divided and moved to new places in the perennial border. 1 like this plant very much, the foliage is good all season and the feath- ery bloom in cream and mauve is needed to lighten up the bor- ders of heavy peonies and Lu- pines as it blooms at the same time. Seeding Delphlnium con-

tinue their blooming in lovely

white and purple flowers that

last mudh longer than the July

blooms. These are being moved

from the field where they were’ sown in May to a new border of

Delphlnium by the lilacs.

I am pleased with my English

Ivies that have wintered outside

for several years. I experiment-

ed with several’ situations. On

the south of the house, also un-

der a west window. then in the

perennial borders. They all grew

so well and they are very at-

tractive, making a large mound of

dark green ivy foliage sometimes

three feet across and as high.

This is the time of year when the

form and composition of the gar-

den is seen, and changes can be

made to improve the surround-

ings. I

Walking out the lane the other sunny morning l noticed a very sweet fragrance and found it came from the ferns. More no- ticeable now than in the sum- mer time and I must. dry some for the winter. Placing the ferns between two newspapers then putting under a carpet or unused mattress; the paper will lblorb the moisture and dry them success- fully. Maple leaves may be dried this way and also between leaves of an old catalogue and weighted down. Many times I have found beautiful leaves in a large Bpblc. placed there many years ago by someone who loved them and preserved them in this way.

There are many ways to keep flowers: one way is to preserve them in sand. filling up the-bot- tle or can with warm sand and leaving for several weeks. but I think we can-have fresh" flowers of some kind during winter.
